Plus Gallery

Even though I don’t live in the Denver/​Boulder area anymore, I visited this gallery often between 2007 and 2013.
Notable shown artists include Xi Zhang, Bill Amundson, Jenny Morgan … and those are just a few.
Denver is lucky to have Plus!

I have been buying art at Plus Gallery since 2005. The owner and curator, Ivar Zeile is one of Denver’s most respected contemporary art experts and he represents some of the finest artists in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond including former RMCAD professor, Bruce Price, Xi Zhang, and Patti Hallock. He also represents well artists exhibiting in other major cities including Jenny Morgan who after starting her professional painting career in Denver, went on to paint for Marilyn Minter in NYC and now anchors her own solo shows in Chelsea.
Whether you are a collector or just an art enthusiast, the exhibition space is beautiful and elegantly designed by Steve Chucovich (architect behind the Riverfront Bridge). The space is a great break from the hustle and bustle of Denver’s suddenly hot RiNo neighborhood.
I agree with Bonnie’s comment that Plus has some of the most challenging artwork that is exhibited in a retail gallery in Denver and at times may be even hotter than the MCA. I will note that his artists have had shows at the MCA and the Denver Art Museum.
** full disclosure, I am an owner of pieces by Jenny Morgan, Bruce Price, Patti Hallock, Allie Pohl, Bill Amundson, and Gabriel Liston, all represented by Plus Gallery **

As a New Yorker temporarily (or permanently.) stranded in Denver, the existence of Plus Gallery and its owner, Ivar Zeile, bring me great comfort.
Plus Gallery is a haven for contemporary art lovers. With all due respect to the myriad of ‘Western’ art galleries in Denver, Ivar’s discerning taste and his tireless passion for uncovering crucial international artists, feed those of us with a hunger for diverse reflections of ‘nowness’. Ivar holds an impressive track record of award winning artists and exhibits, and has turned me onto several individual artists.
Smart, sophisticated and impeccably installed shows are the norm at Plus. Ivar’s curatorial efforts don’t stop with the artwork itself, he weaves programming into each show — artist talks, lectures and openings that any contemporary art lover/​collector will find enriching.
On any given Saturday, you might consider a visit to Plus before any other art institution in town…
If you aren’t in Denver, check out Plus’ website:

This is an awesome place to see works that are going to be world renowned in a few years. The curators seem to be able to see ahead, on what will be hot, what will sell… and all with local artists.
The gallery is right across from the biggest homeless shelter in Denver, so you could potentially feel threatened. It is worth it. This place has hotter work than the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA.)
I wish I were showing there!
